It’s lovely sitting in the garden on a summer’s day
A little pleasure a little leisure
Watching nature play.
But then a creature buzzes round above your balding pate
You wave your hands around your strands
It really starts to grate.
And then… a sudden silence and all you do is wait
For the pain so near your brain -
You get in quite a state.
You know its sitting up there, honing it’s sharp drill
It won’t be long ere it’s sharp prong
Is thrust in you with skill.
Then you come up with a plan to fool the little blighter
And very quickly (and rather slickly!)
You turn into a fighter.
You stand up straight and smoothly plunge your head into the pond.
Serves you right you little tyke
For thinking I’m a blonde.

Pesky ickle devils they are …. thing is I am blonde so I am doomed….
Loving Disco Inferno [my fave so far]dear Frac is a smart cookie, you chose your Fracretary well
She wasn’t chosen …… she descended from the ether demanding shoes …. and won’t go away until I provide the other one …… and I’m not made of money you know.
Oh, I’ve never thought you were made of money. Gingernuts, paste, a bit of aloe vera juice and a touch of red wine… that’s what I’ve always thought you were made of.
(Thanks fraccy sis!)
I was thinking more’slugs and snails, and puppy dog tails’
It’s soooooo nice seeing you two having a little chat ……. carry on …. [Let's face it, I couldn't stop them if I tried]
lol sis, what with the times he’s talked about all the problems with ‘wind’ at the mansion… puppy dog tails is at least the right end.
That’s one of the things I admire about you… your ability to be so… so… accurate.
{{{giggles…}}}
[Sympathies on the slugs and snails though DP... never let it be said that I had no compassion for you!]
Your compassion is driving me to drink!!!! ….. cup of tea?
Very poetical DP (I won’t mention the blonde bit to Sparkly though!)
Take no notice. Some people will stoop to any depths for a cheap rhyme.
I’m sure you could ….. she wouldn’t have a clue what you’re on about ….. *running away and hiding now*
A wasp and a match…..is that a Swan Vespa?
Isn’t that the type of scooter that Elizabeth the First used to ride at banquets? …..
I thought you always wore a box on your head!
Not in the Summer …… that would be silly ……
Of course not, Nursie. Daddy P lives in England so there is no chance of his pate turning red. Not enough sun! Of course, should he visit the antipodes he would have to bring his box with him.
That’s very good advice Archie …… mind you the Antipodes are an awful long way away ………
You would have to walk for a day and a day and a day. It is indeed a long way.
…… and, at the point where I need to don my box, I’ll start to trip up ……..
Very timely advice and some I wish I had followed before getting stung 6 times by some nasty fly or other while I was playing tennis on Monday
I have also had an allergic reaction to the stings and they have all turned into huge blisters. My leg looks like I have bubonic plague or some other evil lurgy. Next time, the pond it is. And I’m not even blonde
Oooo …… that doesn’t sound very nice …… oh dear
